Setting up Sublime Text 3 on Ubuntu

This is a guide to help you install and setup Sublime Text 3 on Ubuntu

The Ubuntu version used is 16.04, but it should be easily adapted to other Ubuntu flavors or even other Linux distros.

First of all, on Ubuntu, you gotta add a ppa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text-installer

To make Sublime shine, install Package Control to easily install plugins

  • The ease one: hit Ctrl + Shipt + P, type Install Package Control and choose it to install. Wait some seconds and that's all.
  • The hard one: You may get a installation script from the Package Control website to install it through the Sublime Console. Choose the script for version 3. Copy and paste in in the console and hit enter, wait a little while and you're done.

Adding plugins

To install a plugin via Package Control, hit Ctrl + Shift + P, type Install Pakcage, and chose Package Control: Install Package

After a little while you should see a list of plugins available. Just type the plugin's name, choose it, wait while it gets installed and you're done

  • SideBarEnhancements
  • Materia design with Box Theme.

To enable the installed theme go to Preferences > Settings and paste the following:

{
	"color_scheme": "Packages/Boxy Theme/schemes/Boxy Ocean.tmTheme",
	"highlight_line": true,
	"rulers":
	[
		100
	],
	"theme": "Boxy Ocean.sublime-theme",
	"theme_accent_cyan": true,
	"theme_bar": true,
	"theme_bar_logo_atomized": true,
	"theme_bar_shadow_hidden": true,
	"theme_button_rounded": true,
	"theme_dirty_colored_always": true,
	"theme_icons_materialized": true,
	"theme_scrollbar_rounded": true,
	"theme_sidebar_highlight_selected_text_only": true,
	"theme_sidebar_highlight_text_only": true,
	"theme_sidebar_indent_top_level_disabled": true,
	"theme_size_md": true,
	"theme_tab_highlight_text_only": true,
	"theme_tab_selected_transparent": true,
	"theme_tab_selected_underlined": true,
	"theme_tab_size_xxl": true,
	"theme_unified": true
}
